Motivation: How You May Be Unnecessarily Addicted To It And The 12 Steps To Recovery
“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” ~Jordan Belfort
Motivation seems like a magic elixir.
If we could bottle it and take a swig every hour or so, we could move mountains, build empires, accomplish great and small things daily.
When motivation is running through your veins, your energy is high and your focus is intense.
Think about times when you’ve procrastinated or failed to do something you wanted to do. Most of us announce sadly, “I’m just not motivated enough.” Or “I’ve lost my motivation.”
That’s a victim mentality.
“Motivation” is just a word. It represents an emotion — an amorphous, biochemical reaction in our brains. The emotion behind motivation can be enthusiasm and excitement, or it can be fear or dread. Those intense emotions drive us to take action. When we lack those intense emotions, we often fail to act — even if we really desire the outcome.
